Vacaville planners to discuss new Dollar Tree store

A local discounter is looking to expand in Vacaville, proposing the opening of a second Dollar Tree store within the city.

The original store is on Alamo Drive near Marshall Road. The second is proposed for Peabody Road at Hume Way.

Plans call for an 11,500-square-foot, one-story establishment on a 1.13-acre site in the Orchard Supply Hardware Plaza. The building would feature stucco siding, concrete masonry blocks and a storefront awning. There would also be 46 parking spaces and landscaping.

If approved, the business would be open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, with truck deliveries two or three times a week.

Approval of the project, officials said, will complete the remaining undeveloped portion of the plaza.

In his staff report, City Planner Albert Enault wrote that staff support the project because:

* The proposed project will complete the remaining undeveloped portion of OSH Plaza;

* The proposed building and landscape design will enhance the aesthetics of the site and the plaza;

* The project will provide employment opportunities for local contractors and subcontractors that will be involved in the construction of the project; and

In other matters, commissioners are slated to consider the proposed construction of Action Rents, a commercial rental center with outdoor storage, on a developed 1.68-acre site at 28 Union Way. The plan includes an existing 4,200 square-foot building, outdoor storage, a covered equipment wash rack and five steel storage containers.

Commissioners will also discuss the signage plans for the Vaca Valley Travel Center on Crocker Drive.
